> he set a new record for the 105-plus age group wait, what? That's a thing? How many members of this "group" are there? How many attempts have ever been made?
The age-group was created as a result of his attempt. He is the only one. It's preetty fuckin' baller of him. I bet this record is gonna stand for a while.
Mind blown. His diet that consists mainly of fruits and vegetables along with his lean body are likely major factors that contribute to his youth like health at 105.
I think I saw a variation on this article that said he started cycling regularly when he was 68. Our city has been taking steps to make bicycle commuting more friendly, but they haven't gone far enough. I really hope we end this absurdity with having too many cars; they are ruining everywhere nice.

Edit: I found this about Jeanne Louise Calment from Arles, France who lived to 122:
>>An interesting side question is how Jeanne Louise Calment managed to achieve such an advanced age? She smoked until the age of 117 and reportedly ate a couple of pounds of chocolate a week. She also rode her bike until the age of 100 and lived on her own until 110. Go figure.You'd think the smoking and sugar from all that chocolate would cancel out the benefits of riding her bicycle.

If he's been doing serious road biking since that age it's probably not something that he's doing on regular streets. Or, he's not just hopping on a bike and taking a leisurely ride down the street for groceries anyway.
